. >> joining us now is democratic congressman lloyd doggett of texas. he's a member of the house ways and means committee. thank you very much for joining us on this important night. i think it's a night that you and i always knew was coming. because we have read that law and we know how simple it is and how it had to be enforced. can you tell us, in the meeting today, were there any republican votes in favor of releasing the trump tax returns? >> no, unfortunately, there were not, lawrence. as you, know before the lawsuit was ever filed on valentine's day, back in 2017, i made the first motion to release these tax returns. that was blocked by republicans for two years. and they are still covering up for donald trump. it was a professional meeting. but the same arguments that they have been making all along, i think, have no better. all we know now is that donald trump is a guy with big credits, big deductions, big losses, and seldom a big tax bill. >> what can you tell us about what we are going to see or were able to take a look at the details of thes

i spoke with lloyd doggett, a democratic party congressman and a member of the ways and means committeehe gave his reaction to the revelations in trump's tax returns. he did not pay at the rate of a janitor or sanitation worker, he paid nothing some years. what if that was because his businesses were not making money? therein lies the problem with the failure of the trump irs to investigate and audit of him. we have as many questions as answers. what we know from a new york times investigation is that in 2009 he claimed a loss of $700 million, associated with his failed atlantic city casinos and he continued to carry that along and at the beginning of 2015 he was still claiming a loss of $105 million. so by using creative losses and credits and deductions that were never thoroughly analysed, he was able to avoid paying taxes. is that the fault, is that not the fault of the system, of legislators like yourself to try and simplify and make sure people cannot use different methods, if you do not like them? much of it absolutely is the fault of the congress that seems to be dominated by the

joining me now is representative lloyd doggett, a democratic party congressman and a member of the houseays and means committee, which released trump's tax returns. thank you for coming on the programme. what is your reaction. these tax returns show donald trump did not pay a great deal of tax over all. what is your reaction? your market is truly appalling that the president of the present the united states had so little commitment to playing for our national security that he thought it was ok for him to pay $750 a couple of years, and some years absolutely nothing. he didn't pay at the rate of a janitor or a sanitation worker. he paid nothing some years. what if that was just because his businesses weren't making any money? mac therein lies a big part of the problem with the trump internal revenue service to investigate thoroughly. we have about as many questions as answers. what we know from a new york times investigation is, that in 2009, he claimed a loss of $700 million. apparently this was associated with his failed atlantic city casinos. he continued to carry that along apparently

"out front" is lloyd doggett.gressman, i spoke with you the night the supreme court gave you the green light to get trump's taxes. here we are ten days later. the committee has got them in hand. what is the committee doing with them right now. >> erin, finally after making the motion in february 2017, almost five years ago, the ways and means chairman has access to those returns. the we had a meeting yesterday. he explained the process. he indicated that he did have access to them, that he had pointed the -- some steps, individuals, his agents not to go through and i believe that is something that needs to approach expeditiously. there are only a few days left where democrats will be in restructuring and then safe for 2 1/2 years with a trump-appointed judge. you need to meet in executive session and prepare what these individuals are determining and make a determination about how much, if at all, is made public. >> i want to ask you about this. january 3rd is when the gavel switches over. >> exactly. >> you were

i stayed with it >> joining us now is low doggett of texas. he's a member of the house means committee. thank you very much for joining us. i think it's a night we always knew it was coming. we read that law and how it had to be enforced. other any republican votes in favor of the tax returns? >> now unfortunately as you know on valentine's day back in 2017 i made the first motion to release tax returns that were blocked by republicans for two years. they're still covering up for donald trump. it was a professional meeting but it's the same argument sabin making all along and it doesn't have any merit so all we know now is that donald trump is a guy with big credits, big deductions big losses and a big tax bill. >> what can you tell us about what we are going to see when we look at the details of his tax returns. as you pointed out, you won't see as much as you would with a normal auditing process. the success of our investigation in the work that chairman neal did and there are no worker papers here this is where the staff and the joy tech st

>> i heard congressman doggett say that it is an excellent question. i think what he was talking about is when the irs started on it they did not ask him for those kinds of supporting documents which would be a usual process during an audit. the tech returns themselves don't show that. that would have to be in other -- we had some records of audits ongoing that i could see but that doesn't show a gÜlen process and examination that -- but i think that is what he was referring to, he wasn't required which is pretty extraordinary. they didn't do an audit and they -- millions of dollars, tens of millions of dollars a revenue resulting in no income tax. business failures and write offs the they didn't ask for documentation of. pretty extraordinary. >> let's bring in our panel here as well. getting right down to the issue gentlemen, you have got the idea of the curiosity, when he was a candidate, the first time being a candidate, i wonder if he really has as much money as he says he has? does he have the empire he says? there was a curiosity in this figure.

joining us now is democratic congressman loyd doggett of texas.ouse ways and means committee. congressman, you made the first motion to acquire the former president's taxes nearly five years ago. does it surprise you it took this long. >> it's really outrageous. he had so many accomplices in the congress, house republicans who refused to let us take a look at these returns even in private years ago. you know, many years ago, there was another new york city hotel mogul who declared taxes are for the little people. and i think that's kind of the trump idea. he thinks it makes him smart that he pays less of his income, a lower rate on his income, than the weigaiter or the maid or th maintenance person that works in one of his hotels. i think that's outrageous. when he got to be president, he put a couple of his buddies in charge of the revenue department and the internal revenue service, and they don't do the audit that was done on other presidents until they get a letter from the ways and means committee, that waited a ycoupl of years to do that. we

england's alex hales was one of five thunder players to make ducks, while brendan doggett top scoreds, as they plot their way back into rugby union. the sport's governing body, the rfu, approved an application to return to wasps — but rejected plans for new ownership at worcester. both sides were removed from the premiership after going into administration in october. worcester, whose debts totalled more than £30 million when they went under, have been the subject of a bid from former warriors chief executive jim 0'toole and his atlas consortium. that's all the sport for now. some breaking news coming into us, the actor kevin spacey is to face a further seven charges at his forthcoming trial in london over a series of alleged sexual offences. the actor appeared briefly via video link from the middle east at a hearing at westminster magistrates' court. the crown prosecution service says the new charges follow a review of evidence. the new charges all relate to allegations made by one man including three counts of indecent assault, three of sexual assault and one of causing a person to
